<p>Because while it's true that he thinks he is the superior Vala,
what he's saying here is that he thinks he is more worth of the
title Vala than the other Valar. He is the epitome of being a
Vala, he's saying. Hence the use of <b>chIw.</b></p>
<p>I admit I'm not sure using <b>-meH</b> is a good idea, but
Okrand has done things like this with <b>-meH</b> before. (<b>QIpmeH
Qatlh'a'?</b><i> Difficult to hit?</i> ST5)</p>
<p>A verb meaning <i>be the epitome of</i> would be nice for
fitting in the comparative, but we don't have that.<br>

<p>I don't know whether <b>qem</b> means only physically. You can
use <b>qeng</b><i> carry, convey</i> instead if you like. <i>Convey</i>
makes it pretty clear that it's not only about physically picking
something up.<br>
